Hazards Planning Center
Planning Information Exchange
With a new award agreement granted by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the successful Planning Information Exchange (PIE) webinar series has been extended for two additional years, starting October 1, 2020. APA will continue to act as the lead in an agreement with FEMA, with the Association of State Floodplain Managers (ASFPM) as a partner. The quarterly webinars will continue to revolve around four central themes:
- The information exchange focuses on all hazards.
- The information exchange focuses primarily on mitigation planning but also its connections with recovery planning and preparedness.
- APA and ASFPM act as co-conveners of all planning exchange webinars. This means that both organizations will use their respective web-based meeting platforms to set up, register, drive, facilitate, record, and provide technical support for all webinar meetings.
- Planning exchange hosts select topics and commit to moderate, present, and lead the planning exchange webinars.

More frequent and intense heat events present significant environmental, social, health, and economic impacts to communities around the country. Join this next PIE webinar to learn more about how communities are responding to and preparing at different scales to address extreme heat. Kate McCormick, associate at the Georgetown Climate Center and lead author of Community-Informed Heat Relief: Policy Options for Addressing Urban Extreme Heat in High-Risk Communities, and Jared Patton, associate planner at the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning and a lead contributor to the Climate Action Plan for the Chicago Region, will discuss strategies to advance local and regional resilience, informed by recently published resources. The webinar will highlight opportunities for community engagement, partnerships, and equitable action to mitigate heat impacts.
This PIE webinar will focus on actions local and regional agencies can take to address extreme heat, case examples from around the country, and collaborative opportunities to increase community resilience.
Attendees of this webinar will: (1) Learn about local and regional activities to increase community resilience to extreme heat events, (2) Explore policy options to address heat impacts, informed by case examples around the country, and (3) Learn about the role of cross-sector collaboration to envision, plan for, and implement heat mitigation strategies.
